Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0431290A2] Circuitry for implementing a gate enhanced lateral transistor (3l) to provide a circuit having a bipolar current driving capability and an FET channel voltage drop. The circuits provide switching of the lateral transistor by enabling both gate and base connections. The device is merged into an FET providing essentially no voltage drop across the collector-emitter connections permitting the collector to reach a full power supply voltage. <IMAGE>
